Tribune pour un « Code » de règles juridiques internationales applicable au cyberespace. Le Cyberespace, 5ème Champ de conflictualité. Le cyberespace est défini par l’Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information (ANSSI) comme un « espace de communication constitué par l’interconnexion mondiale d’équipements de traitement automatisé de données numériques ». Il s’agit du 5ème champ de conflictualité, après l’air, l’eau, l’espace, la terre et la mer. Les trois éléments qui caractérisent le cyberespace, sont les réseaux physiques et virtuels, l’information et la donnée, la capacité de prolifération des outils malveillants du fait de la nature même du cyberespace. Le cyberespace n’échappe pas à toute régulation. S’il faut louer le travail du Conseil de l’Europe, la Convention de Budapest est néanmoins aujourd’hui le seul texte à vocation internationale applicable et reconnu par les pays signataires. Toutefois, en raison de sa limitation géographique, la Convention de Budapest présente des restrictions pour la lutte contre les cybermenaces. Or, les conflits qui se déroulent dans le cyberespace ne sauraient échapper, dans un système international et mondial fondé sur le droit, à toute régulation. La France participe à un groupe d’Etats, sélectionnés au sein de l’ONU, avec pour mission de travailler à la formulation de recommandations pour le renforcement de la sécurité du cyberespace.

    TERRORIST AND ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS IN THE TRI-BORDER AREA (TBA) OF SOUTH AMERICA A Report Prepared by the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress under an Interagency Agreement with the Crime and Narcotics Center Director of Central Intelligence July 2003 (Revised December 2010) Author: Rex Hudson Project Manager: Glenn Curtis Federal Research Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 205404840 Tel: 2027073900 Fax: 2027073920 E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage: http://loc.gov/rr/frd/ p 55 Years of Service to the Federal Government p 1948 – 2003 Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Tri-Border Area (TBA) PREFACE This report assesses the activities of organized crime groups, terrorist groups, and narcotics traffickers in general in the Tri-Border Area (TBA) of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, focusing mainly on the period since 1999. Some of the related topics discussed, such as governmental and police corruption and anti–money-laundering laws, may also apply in part to the three TBA countries in general in addition to the TBA. This is unavoidable because the TBA cannot be discussed entirely as an isolated entity. Based entirely on open sources, this assessment has made extensive use of books, journal articles, and other reports available in the Library of Congress collections. It is based in part on the author’s earlier research paper entitled “Narcotics-Funded Terrorist/Extremist Groups in Latin America” (May 2002). It has also made extensive use of sources available on the Internet, including Argentine, Brazilian, and Paraguayan newspaper articles. One of the most relevant Spanish-language sources used for this assessment was Mariano César Bartolomé’s paper entitled Amenazas a la seguridad de los estados: La triple frontera como ‘área gris’ en el cono sur americano [Threats to the Security of States: The Triborder as a ‘Grey Area’ in the Southern Cone of South America] (2001).
